The meeting at which this resolution was approved was in all things conducted in strict compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 24th day of January, 2023. - Mayor Robin Mouton - Proposed Project Submissions for the Transportation Alternatives Program Program Description On December 2, 2022, TxDOT announced a call for projects for the Transportation Alternatives Set - Aside (TA) Program for bicyclist and pedestrian infrastructure and planning. Each city can submit a total of three projects for funding consideration. TxDOT will evaluate each submission and award funding to the projects that best demonstrate the following qualifications: • Provides safer accommodations for walking, bicycling, and other non -motorized travel to destinations of interest including business districts, downtowns, schools, and health facilities. • The applicant can provide a comprehensive and detailed construction cost estimate, which then has the potential to quickly advance the project to construction if selected for funding. • Improves non -motorized travel options in under -served communities. Low -to -Moderate Income Percentage (LMI%) in the area is used to help determine these communities. • Fulfills a demand such as providing access to higher density residential and/or employment areas. Below is a list of proposed projects prepared by city staff ranked in order of preference and likelihood of getting selected for funding. Exhibits illustrating the limits and details of the projects are also included. Project 1: Citywide School Zone Sign Improvements This project consists of upgrading the existing school zone sign assemblies that notify drivers when the reduced speed limit is active. The proposed new standard assembly consists of three flashing beacons along with the speed limit sign, a plaque prohibiting cell phone use, and a plaque for the times in which the school zone is active. This project will upgrade all substandard sign assemblies to match the new standard in addition to implementing a new software for remote monitoring and programming. Estimated Cost: $1,010,000.00 City Contribution: $202,000.00 (20%) The proposed software will provide the following benefits: • It will monitor each sign and notify a technician if a beacon is not flashing during the designated time. This will allow malfunctions to be addressed immediately and reduce the occasions in which drivers unintentionally speed through an active school zone. • It will monitor each bulb and notify a technician if it is about to go out. This will ensure maximum efficiency and prevent premature replacement of good bulbs. • It will allow a technician to reprogram multiple signs at once from a computer in their office, whereas they currently must visit and manually reprogram each sign.
